Police Link Man To Attempted Robbery Through Toilet Paper

A man has been arrested for attempting to commit a robbery after police allegedly found evidence of a note he wrote to the robbery location on a piece of toilet paper inside his home.

According to reports, 29-year-old Eric Frey tried to rob Michael Maria’s Pizza in Uniontown, Pennsylvania by handing a worker a handwritten note on toilet paper that read, “I have a gun. Give me $300.”

Frey didn’t wind up getting away with the attempted robbery, however, because an employee allegedly pressed a panic button, alarming police who showed up before he could leave. Police arrived and questioned Frey, who told them that he was forced to rob the store by someone else who threatened to shoot him if he didn’t return home with stolen money.
